In this case, although alien cache isn't used at all but to cope with some initialization path, garbage value is used and that is BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC. Now, this patch set use_alien_caches to 0 when !CONFIG_NUMA, there is no initialization path problem so we don't need BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC at all. So remove it.
